The global special effect pigments market is projected to reach USD 969.2 Million by 2022 at a CAGR of 5.3%, in terms of value. The special effect pigment market has witnessed high growth in recent years, and this growth is projected to persist in the coming years as well. Special effect pigments are used in a wide range of applications such as paints & coatings, plastics, printing inks, cosmetics, and others, as these impart properties such as enhanced appearance, excellent glitter, shimmer, shine, and luster to products.
Different types of special effect pigments are also covered in the report. The main types are metallic pigments and pearlescent pigments. The metallic pigments type segment accounted for the largest market share in 2016, due to their suitability in several application areas, while pearlescent pigments is projected to be the fastest-growing type segment in the special effect pigments market, in terms of value and volume, due to its increasing acceptance in various applications such as cosmetics and paints & coatings. Metallic pigments are used to achieve metallic effects such as gold, silver, and chrome, among others. The demand for pearlescent pigments is projected to grow on account of the increasing consumption of cosmetic products and rising disposable incomes of consumers.
Special effect pigments are used in various applications such as paints & coatings, plastics, printing inks, cosmetics, and others, which are the major applications considered in the report. In 2016, the paints & coatings application accounted for the largest market share, in terms of value and volume, followed by plastics, printing inks, cosmetics, and others. The plastics application is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2017 to 2022 among all the applications considered.
North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America are the main regions considered for the special effect pigments market in the report. The Asia-Pacific is the largest special effect pigments market. The rising demand for special effect pigments in this region is mainly driven by their increased use in the packaging, cosmetics, and household goods industries. North America is the second-largest consumer and manufacturer of special effect pigments, globally. The Asia-Pacific region is the fastest-growing region in the special effect pigments market. Paints & coatings and plastics are the top two applications contributing to the growing demand for special effect pigments globally.
Though the special effect pigments market is growing at a high rate, a few factors such as the high price of raw materials, shift of the end-use market from developed countries to emerging countries, and the rising cost of production hinder the growth of the market, globally.
